COVID-19 UPDATE (July 2020): During these uncertain times, we would like to assure you that the health and well-being of our attendees is, and always will be, our top priority. To balance the safety of our delegates, with our longstanding goals of supporting the dissemination of advances in the field, and providing opportunities for HQP development, The CLC Organizing Committee has therefore decided to host the conference online this year. The Conference will be held Thursday, October 15th– Friday, October 16th. Registration is $20 for trainees and $50 for Faculty, and proceeds will go towards supporting awards for presentations.

ABOUT THE CLC RESEARCH FOCUS
The annual Canadian Lipid and Lipoprotein Conference brings together basic and clinician scientists from Canadian research institutions to present their recent, unpublished findings in the field of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. The cutting edge research conducted by CLC scientists remains at the forefront of biomedical research and continues to advance knowledge toward potential therapies to target important metabolic diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes, among others.
